Queen Victoria and Mrs. Langtry.

Some one ash ed Mrs. Langtry recently if
she did really put piece of ice down the
Prince of Waes' back. Tnat fair creature
adroitly slipped her cable ami sailed into the
subject OF the weather, leaving her interlOcu-
tor as wise as before. l have been told by
very reliable authority that Mrs. Langtry not
only put the ice down the prlncely back, but
said afterwdrd, when told by Mortified court
iers she'd ruin herself, that ''She didn't
care" Now don't care in cases of royalty is
a dangerous support, and the Jersey Lily tot
tered of ner perch a. the next Queens draw
ing room. Contrary to the advice of her
friends and We l-wlshers, who knew that
some action would be taken by offended roy
atty, Mrs. Langtry went to Kiss her majesty 3
hand and had the honor withheld from her In
the presence of the court. The Queen calmly
folded her arms and the beauty retired from
the scene as quickly as dignity and mortifica-
ton won allow her to do. The Prince re-
covered from the blow, but the lady has felt
the consequences IN more ways than one ever
since. The Queen said at the time that no.
body should Iomp with the Prince Of Wales
and since then nobody" has, as far as the
world knows.

The Black Poodle Craze.


Since Mrs. Cleveland has adopted the black
poodle for pet dog, Washington society has
taken up the same species as their pet. Not
long ago Hector, the black Antwerp poodle,
who lords it over all the other pets at the
White House on account OF seniority, was the
only black poodle In this city, but now no
dude considers himself In the fashion unless
he has black poodle. Even the young ladies
have taken to black poodles for pet dogs.
There have been some very fine days here this
week, and in u walk up the avenue counted
no less than six black poodles in as many
squares. 1t was curious to note the various
speClmens-some very fine looking; others
looked shaggy and dirty, as If just risen from
poverty to aflluence and they had not had
time to get use to it. A dog fancier of Wash

Senator Stanford has some curious no.
tions respecting his university In Califor-
MIA, which he expects to rival Harvard
and Y ale. He has got the necessary money
to make big institution, and he proposes
to spend it freely. He says that it will be
open 10 both men aud women, and that It
will have a department especially for
children. IL seems that spelling and the
multiplication table will be taught along
with Greek and Calculus. The buildings
will be one-story structures, connected
with one another by arcades. They will
probably cover quite liberal area.

Women frequently display rem arkable
courage and nerve when required to en-
dure suffering. Last Thursday, in a fac
tory of the Bristol Conn, Manufacturing
Company, Emma Numann was the vic
tim OF terrible accident, and the cool
ness and perfect self-possession which
she displayed under the most trying cir
cumstances excited the wonder of her
companions and of the surgeons who
were summoned TO her relief. AS she was
standing on her table her hair caught in
the shafting, and in an instant the whole
top of her head, including her left ear,
her left eyelid, skin of the forehead, and
down as far as her hair went on her neck,
was torn off and dropped on the floor be-
side her. Other girls ran and tainted.

John W. b Oktodtter in Cincinnati Enquirer.
Isuppose there is no doubt that the ruins OF
Carnac, in Egypt, are the most stupendous on
the globe. They are something ike 400 by 300
feet n extent, and consist of more than 100
great columns of granite, rising perhaps
sixty feet gh. Next to that the ruins OF
Baalbec, In The vicinity Of Damascus, are the
most extensive. In that region of cOuutry the
Romans used 10 grow their chief supply Of
wheat, and have never seen, even IN this
country, such immense fields Of wheat as are
there now. The great Temple of Baalbec Is
supposed TO have Ueen the Corn Exchange OF
former times, and possibly had connected with
IL temples for the worship of the gods and
goddesses who comfort agriculture. Palmyra
and most other places have scattered runs
which dissipate their IMPRESSION by want Of
order and su1iclency. For a little gem Of a
thing, the Parthenon at Athens is unm atched !;

The lawyers are making a good thing
out of the telephone cases. They are

OF the Bell Company are, of course, much
larger than those of the appellants. Mr..
